Biotech Entrepreneurship Training Program

The Biotech Entrepreneurship Training Program (BETP) is a compact course for students, PhD students, and postdocs in Life Sciences & Health Technology at Heidelberg University. Participants acquire a basic understanding of intellectual property, innovation, and economic value creation from academic research results. Furthermore, they learn how to develop a viable and compelling business idea and how to present the business idea to a critical audience.

An interdisciplinary team from BioMed X, BioRN Cluster Management, and German EIT Health has taught more than 100 participants from nine different institutions in the Biotech-Cluster Rhine-Neckar.

Biotech Entrepreneurship and Leadership Lectures (BELL) is a bi-weekly interactive lecture series offered by Heidelberg University, where successful biotech entrepreneurs and business leaders share their experiences and lessons learned with students and early-career scientists.

The German Cancer Research Center, the National Center for Tumor Diseases, the Center for Molecular Biology, and the European Laboratory for Molecular Biology count among the leading research institutes for genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics.
